Former Vice President Namadi Sambo’s Senior Special Advisor on Media and Publicity, Umar Sani, has alluded to the possibility of disciplinary action from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) against Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
According to Sani, the PDP’s disciplinary committee has realized its obligations and may punish Wike for not being above the party.
Sani said that no committee was in existence at the time of Wike’s alleged violations while appearing on Arise TV’s Morning Show.
However, he pointed out that the party may think about taking action against people who are breaking the party’s laws now that a disciplinary committee headed by Chief Tom Ikimi has been established.
Sani said: “The issue has been oversimplified, with many framing it as a clash between Abubakar Atiku and Nyesom Wike.
“But the real driving force is the Governors’ Forum, which had been dormant but has now awakened. The Forum is actively working to resolve the crisis.
“While a court order may prevent the removal of officials, it does not stop the party from suspending members or imposing discipline.
“There was no disciplinary committee when Wike allegedly violated party rules.
“Now that we have a committee in place, let’s give them time to do their job before assuming Wike is above party rules. Let’s see if they recommend disciplinary action against him.”
